Five-star guard Troy Brown Jr. is officially off the board as he pledged his verbal commitment to Oregon on Monday. Brown picked the Ducks over Arizona and Kansas, among other top schools including Cal, Georgetown, Ohio State, UNLV, and Alabama. He had taken official visits to Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, Kansas, and Georgetown.

The 6’6 ball handler out of Las Vegas is ranked the No. 18 recruit in the nation by ESPN. He’s known for his ability to play on or off the ball and has natural instincts to attack the rim. He’s a solid passer with great court vision and could be an immediate impact player as a freshman.

Brown played with ESPN’s No. 35 recruit, Charles O’Bannon Jr., for the Las Vegas Prospects and the two were regarded as one of the most talented backcourts in the nation.

He’s also known for helping Team USA win the FIBA U17 Championship. In the tournament he averaged 10 points per game on 44 percent shooting.

His commitment is one of many big names to come in a busy month of November.
